District 9- 4.5/10

R- Them darn aliens swear all kinds.

This is an interesting 2009 movie. Let me rephrase that... This is an interestingly done 2009 movie. Wait, one more time... This is an interestingly annoyingly made 2009 movie. But I'll get to that in a bit... Plot is... Aliens are on earth. Been like that for a while. They're kept in this big old reservation type thing in the UK somewhere. But they're naughty little aliens and everyone wants 'em out. So this dude is in charge of basically evicting 'em by going door to door and yadda yadda. Sounds hilarious, right? The first 20minutes of this movie were quite laughable, because they tried to make the movie feel like a documentary. With news reporters, interviews, and all that stuff that makes
documentaries "legitimate". So that's why the first 20minutes were laughable. There was people being all "oh yeah, these aliens were mistreated and descriminated against". And my favorite part "inter species prostitution" as it shows some chick takin money from
an alien. Ahh yes... If you can get past all that and such, the movie isn't too bad. The effects are pretty nice at some points, and it's not an alls-well-and-ends-well storyline, which is nice. People who like alien movies will like this, people who like movies that are similar to Independance Day will like this, and people who like seein aliens act criminal will absolutely love this.
